NO WAKE!

When I was younger, I did the one thing that many residents in the Chesapeake Bay area dream of: I bought a boat. For many, the two happiest days are when you buy a boat, and when you sell it. Between those two days there is great fun, but there are also rules. One very common rule is: ”No Wake!”. Simply put, this means that if you race your engine which produces waves in creeks that damage docked boats or land areas, you will be held responsible. This damage can be significant enough that some land owners have built bulkheads in the water, to break the wave action before it reaches their docks.

We land owners also love to complain about the waves of tyranny, the swells of war, and economic white caps. Just as there are marine laws, there are government rules. Our constitution is our primary rule, and exists to avoid the damaging governmental wake. The constitution also provides a bulkhead, in our Bill of Rights, to protect us from our government.

This same sense of accountability for boaters sending walls of water onto people’s property, also applies to voters in electing “leaders” to represent us, and defend our constitution . If we elect candidates out of willful ignorance, laziness, or in defiance of our common sense, we become accomplices to government abuse and the destruction it creates. An obvious example is the Iraq War.

Only few, like Pope John Paul II or Ron Paul, spoke-out emphatically against this unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation. Now, many more try to distance themselves from this futile mistake: a mistake that has left over 115,000 civilians, (men, women and children) dead, just from violence in the anarchy that developed when we invaded Iraq, and dismantled their police force. We were lied to by our government, and terrorized by our main stream media (MSM). Ultimately, there were no weapons of mass destruction (WMD). There are indications that we were being sold this undeclared war, through later reported intelligence briefs, and the inability to find any WMD.

We will be held accountable by God for this destructive wake of humanity. If our upcoming vote is based solely on the tripe we are fed from the major media outlets, than we might consider not voting. We may have become MSM zombies, fed on a diet of partial truth, deletions, and lies. This crisis of truth spreads all the way to our national candidates. Mitt Romney, in a 2008 televised debate, stated that we went to war with Iraq because, “Iraq would not allow the U.N. inspectors into the country”. The truth is, we had to tell the inspectors to get out of Iraq, because the decision had been made that we were going to invade. Do you want this guy running our ship-of-state?

If we learned anything, it should be that we cannot trust the MSM. Before we vote, we need to educate ourselves, and do our own research. In Tuesday’s primary, Santorum is being sold as a fiscal and social conservative, when his record says different. He expanded the size of government five times, by voting to increase the debt ceiling. He sold-out his life principles when he endorsed pro-abort Specter over a proven pro-lifer. He voted for No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part B. He weakened our second amendment bulkhead with his endorsement of anti-gun Specter, and passed federal gun control schemes and regulations. He trashed our Bill of Rights by voting for the Patriot Act and re-authorizations, which removed our 4th amendment bulkhead. Santorum expressed delight with the assassination of scientists in sovereign nations, thereby taking a plank from the bulkhead of due process. If a candidate’s record does not fit the sales pitch, reject him. You will be responsible for the damage in his wake.

In Frederick County, our vote for president, may be as important as who we elect for the House of Representatives in the new 8th district. For the hard core Republican constitutional conservative, who is tired of these endless wars, there is really only one choice.

I believe Shelly Skolnick removes himself from the conservative pool, by labeling himself as a moderate. Timmerman openly preaches that we have been at war with Iran since the Jimmy Carter hostage days. One has to wonder what other countries we have been at war with? He boasts of being an “investigative reporter” as if that position is second only to the author of the Bible. I guess his investigation missed the report from the head of U.S. intelligence, James Clapper and16 U.S. intelligence agencies, that Iran is not a nuclear threat. He also believes the Patriot Act, which stripped our 4th amendment bulkhead, is necessary. Mr. Wallace is your typical establishment Republican. One of those who liked the way Ron Paul spoke of liberty, so they hijacked his tea party. They learned how to say “liberty”, but never managed to say “peace”.
Gus Alzona however, makes no attempts to dodge the issues. He agrees with Ron Paul to bring our troops home. He has personally seen the evil that lurks in the belly of the Federal Reserve and he wants it exposed. As a past two term Montgomery County Republican Central Committeeman, he knows the state GOP machine. Gus is outspoken about the attack on our traditional morals, and as a first generation immigrant, he understands our nation’s immigration problem.

Let’s stop this destructive governmental wake. Vote for candidates who will enforce our constitution, and insist on protection from our Bill of Rights.

Beautiful Woman Tells Off Catholic Channel Establishment Shill, for Ron Paul!

Raymond Arroyo:

I turned on my radio this morning while doing some work around the kitchen. It was around 9AM. I am not usually home at that time of day and thought I would see what was on our local talk radio station, WFMD in Frederick MD. I heard your voice and thought that I had put on EWTN radio instead. I checked the station and it was the one I had originally thought. Then I heard you say you were filling in for Laura Ingraham. I decided I would listen and see what you had to say.

The longer I listened, the more upset I became. I listened to you talk about the GOP race: Romney, Gingrich, Santorum. I continued to listen: Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, again. No mention of Dr Ron Paul. I think you and all of the other Main Stream Media (MSM) do your listeners a tremendous disservice by totally ignoring this honest, consistent, and humble man. All of the media has written him off as “unelectable”, and therefore act as if he does not exist. I would like to decide for myself whom to vote for, and I am sure most people would agree with me.

Some people we have talked to, don’t even know he is running! Gee, I wonder why that is? Could it be that the fourth estate have already decided for us?

I get my news from non-MSM sources, therefore I feel it is more honest. The most recent poll I have seen shows that the only GOP candidate that can beat Obama is Ron Paul. My husband and I love to watch EWTN, but we have not been able to sit through your show anymore in the last few months because we feel that you are less than fair in this election season.

I will pray for you and I pray for God’s mercy on our country everyday. I feel that Dr Paul is our only hope. If he is not on the ballot in November, I will not be voting. Thank you for your time.

Alzona Is the Obvious Pick!

Editor:

Republican voters in the District 8 portion of Frederick County are fortunate in this upcoming election. For the hard core constitutional conservative who is tired of these endless wars, there is really only one choice: Gus Alzona.
Shelly Skolnick removes himself from the conservative pool by labeling himself as a moderate.
Timmerman openly preaches that we have been at war with Iran since the Jimmy Carter hostage days, and he is serious. One has to wonder what other countries we have been at war with, in Mr. Timmerman’s mind? Despite a conclusive report from the head of 16 intelligence agencies, that Iran is not a nuclear threat, Mr. Timmerman seems hell bent on making this perceived war a reality.
Mr. Wallace is your typical establishment republican. You know, the bunch who liked the way Ron Paul spoke of liberty, so they hijacked his tea party. They learned how to say “liberty”, but never managed to say “peace”. Wallace has received an endorsement from a state delegate for his position on national defense, but his issues page fails to mention what his position is. Could it be that his hawk feathers might sour some at his tea party?
Gus Alzona makes no attempts to dodge the issues. He is in the Ron Paul camp and wants our troops home. He has personally seen the evil that lurks in the belly of the Federal Reserve and he wants it exposed. He knows the state GOP machine, in that he has been on the Montgomery County Republican Central Committee for two terms. Gus is outspoken about the attack on our traditional morals, and as a first generation immigrant, he understands our nation’s immigration problem.
We have an opportunity in this new District 8 to send a peace loving conservative who understands that our government needs to be chained down by our constitution. Let’s win against Van Hollen Let’s win a seat for true liberty! Vote Gus Alzona.

"Towson State University vs. Jane Hargadon" NOT GUILTY!!!

Letter of appeal written to Towson. Court date 12-15-2011 "Towson State University vs. Jane Hargadon"

I received a parking citation at Towson University on October 19, 2011 for being parked in a handicapped access route. I had parked there after dropping my physically handicapped mother at Stephens Hall for a hearing test.

It was raining, and I made sure I had my disabled parking pass displayed as well as my receipt, obtained from the kiosk, as I was directed to do. When I parked the car I noticed the sign instructing not to block “access” (see photo 1). The parking on the opposite side of the street is parallel with traffic, and I parked head-in. I assumed that, “access” was referring to pulling in tight to keep from blocking traffic. I was shocked to find a ticket on my windshield when I returned to my car after my mom was done. A citation for $250.00 for something that I do not think is very clear!

If the parking space is to leave room for wheelchairs why not place concrete curbs or beams to indicate to the extent that cars are to pull in? (see photo 2). I have never appealed a ticket. I also have never experienced a parking area with this extensive pavement painting. I feel that the sign was vague and would suggest either placing physical restraints, or specify on the sign, that “access” refers to “handicapped access” where the hash marks are at the front of the parking spaces.

Thank you for considering my perspective.

A Non-establishment Delegate

One of the less noticed elections during the presidential primary, is the election of delegate to the convention. Each Congressional district will elect three delegates and three alternate delegates for the Republican National Convention. I am a candidate for Delegate to the Republican Convention, even though I have only been registered as a Republican for six months. Less than a year ago, I was the Vice Chairman of the Constitution Party of Maryland, so if I can make the switch, you could also.

This election may be our last possibility of salvaging some remnant of our great constitutional republic. The Democrat establishment, with their Obamacare and socialist agenda, do not suit my liberty loving conservative frame. The Republicans however, with all of their establishment warmongering, are also unacceptable, but with one exception: Congressman Ron Paul.

Once registered as a Republican, even if only for six months, you will be eligible to vote in the Republican primary for a presidential candidate, three delegates and three alternate delegates. The delegate candidates appear on the ballot as undesignated, or for a particular presidential candidate. A delegate candidate, who wishes to be listed on the ballot for a particular presidential candidate, must have that presidential candidate’s campaign certify them. The delegates, listed with the presidential candidate that wins the popular vote, have historically won the delegate slots as well. Once elected, the delegate travels to the party’s national convention to officially nominate the Party’s presidential candidate and establish the platform. I have requested to be certified by Dr. Paul’s campaign.

This year’s Convention delegate rules have changed, in that the delegate is bound to vote for the candidate who won the district on the first vote, but if the candidate fails to secure 35% of the vote, or the candidate releases his delegates, or the Convention goes to a third ballot, the delegate is free to vote for whomever he or she considers the best candidate. This could be historic.

Our government has lost its constraints of the constitution. The establishment in both parties has worked the welfare/warfare paradigm to strip us of our liberties, bankrupt us, and retire our constitution to the status of relic to be used for pseudo patriotic outings. We hear talk about the 10th amendment and state’s rights, but there is no state’s rights concept within the power structure of the Republican Party establishment. State parties toe the party establishment line with every directive from the national party. One needs to look no farther than the last Presidential election in Maryland to see what is acceptable in the GOP, and what is not.

In 2008, I also ran for delegate to the Republican Convention, as well as Congress in Maryland’s 7th District. The Republican primaries in five of Maryland’s congressional races were won by non- establishment candidates, myself included. The five of us, along with Roscoe Bartlett’s campaign, were honored by Dr. Paul coming to College Park to publicly endorse our efforts. Three fourths of the party’s general election congressional candidates were endorsed by Congressman Ron Paul. Wouldn’t you think that the party leadership would turn out, if not for Ron Paul, than at least for the individuals who sacrificed to keep the GOP on the Maryland ballot? This was arguably the biggest event for five of these campaigns, yet the state’s GOP establishment essentially boycotted the event, with only one Republican committee person, from the state and 23 county central committees, in attendance.

I once believed that principles would win out, regardless of party. This lesson was shattered after I ran as candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2010, under the Constitution Party. Principles, such as strict 2nd amendment adherence, or being a foe of state funded abortions, were treated as meaningless, by our not being in the two-party duopoly. The local gun groups, the Baltimore Archdiocese, and several other “conservative” advocacy groups would not recognize us with an acknowledgment, an endorsement, or a simple declarative sentence in their election supplement, even though, we agreed with the principles of these groups more than any of the other candidates on the ballot.

The Maryland Republican Party may be showing some backbone in the straw poll taken at the state Fall Convention. Ron Paul finished in practically a dead heat tie for 2nd place. Could the state party be preparing to interpose the constitution over national directives? Don’t count on it. Neoconservative Congressman Harris just announced he will be Co-Chairing the Maryland effort for former congressman, Newt Gingrich. Newt is the epitome of establishment, with his concern about climate change, his fortune he has slurped from the government trough as lobbyist, and his public advocacy of violating international law with plausible deniable lethal attacks against sovereign nations.

Our only hope is to run over the establishment Republican Party. There are almost as many unaffiliated voters in this state as there are registered Republican Party members. Add to that, the disgruntled Democrats, the Libertarians, and those Republicans who insist on a party of true constitutional principles. We can take back our nation, through the Republican Party:
• A party that promotes the value of honest money: End the Fed.
• A party that yearns for personal liberty: End the Patriot Act.
• A party that pursues a non-interventionist foreign policy: End Undeclared Wars.
• And a party that depends on the restraints of our constitution: End Judicial and Executive legislation.

Let’s salvage our constitutional republic? Register, and vote, Republican.

Speak Now, While We Still Can!

To Whom it May Concern:

I watched the debate on CBS on Saturday night with an open mind, but after 90 minutes of an almost total black out of Ron Paul, I was angry and upset. It is obvious what your media outlet is doing to Dr Paul, as well as most other so-called unbiased media outlets.

Call it what it is- a blatant avoidance of a man who only speaks truth and follows our nation's Constitution to the letter. He is avoided because he does not buy into unconstitutional wars, and he wants to bring all of the troops home. Why else would he receive more donations from active military than all of the other candidates combined?

You should be ashamed of yourselves. You are not journalists- you are slaves to lobbyists and foreign powers. Thank you for your time.

"The Establisment's U.S. Catholic Church"

Raymond Arroyo:

How can you go on discussing the presidential race and not mention Congressman Ron Paul. I find it troubling if not sinful, to not honestly cover the full story. What gives you the authority to pick who you will ignore. Are you the Catholic political guru?

We first noticed your unbalanced coverage about a month ago. We complained when you gave Rick "Gardasil" Perry about a two minute spot on your "The World Over", by airing a video of Perry's stump speech on faith.

Then two weeks ago, you continued shilling for the establishment. Dr. Paul had just won the Ohio straw poll, the California straw poll and the Value Voters straw poll! But in your Buchanan interview, you backed Pat into a corner, only bringing up certain candidates. You neither asked him about Dr. Paul, nor asked Buchanan who he liked.

We asked Chris Manion what he thought could be your motivation? Here is his read:
"The bishops receive approximately three billion a year from the government.
Ron Paul would end that.
Raymond likes bishops.
Conclusion?"

This week, you did it again. You allowed an establishment talking head to canonize Newt without even mentioning Ron Paul. Congressman Paul easily polls at his 5% minimum cut-off, but you said nothing. Maybe you should have Chris Manion on for a political segment. He isn't afraid to mention Dr. Paul's name.
